A DREAM came true for a little girl who has spent nearly four of her seven years in hospital.

A DREAM came true for a little girl who has spent nearly four of her seven years in hospital.

Casey Blunstone, who lives in Walgherton and suffers from cystic fibrosis, was given a great day out thanks to the Crewe and Nantwich Round Table's links to the Children's Wish charity.

The youngster now attends Wybunbury Delves Primary School, but during her short life she has spent more than half her time in hospital.

She enjoyed a day to remember after a stretch limousine picked up her and her family from home.

Their first port of call was Leighton Hospital, where the doctors and staff who have cared for Casey during the years waved her off.

Then it was straight to Toys 'R' Us in Hanley to buy some toys. Lunch followed, then Casey went to Mothercare to buy clothes and to PC World for computer games.

Finally, the family visited McDonald's in Crewe.

Casey's mother Gaynor said: 'She had a fantastic time, and even had time to buy me some flowers while she was enjoying herself, which shows how much she appreciated the day.'

She added: 'Casey saw one of the stretch limos a short time ago when we took her to Proms in the Park at Audlem, and she said she would really love a ride in one.

'So we contacted the Rotary Club to see if anything could be done through the Children's Wish charity, and they kindly laid on the day.

'It was certainly a day she'll never forget.' Peter Bone, who arranged the trip on behalf of the Round Table, said: 'Casey is obviously someone who deserves a special treat and I hope she had the time of her life.'
